• Year 2 are artists…

  Fri 24 Oct 2025

  This week we have started our Art topic. We have focussed on different shading techniques and colouring mixing. After the holidays, we will continue with Art and work on our sketching skills. 

  

• Year 1 are respectful of others.

  Fri 24 Oct 2025

  Year 1 have been discussing how we are respectful and tolerant of others. We played a game - we all had different coloured card and had to stay with the children with the same coloured card. We discussed whether it was right to just stay with our colours. We decided that it didn't matter which colour card we had, we should all be respectful of each other and shared our thoughts with a friend who had a different coloured card.

  Thu 23 Oct 2025 Miss Hardman and Miss Brittain

  Wed 22 Oct 2025 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  Year 3 have produced some incredible art work this week inspired by artist Paul Klee. We explored cubism and created our own city scape. We used oil pastels and water colours to make our masterpieces stand out. 🎨🖍️

  Year 4 have created some fantastic art pieces based on perspective. They used the skills taught over the last 2 weeks to produce some fabulous pieces. 

  

• Reception are inspired by Georges Braque!

  Tue 21 Oct 2025

  This week Reception is learning about the artist Georges Braque. We are taking inspiration from his work and creating our own masterpieces. Yesterday, we practiced printing techniques to create textured backgrounds. Today, we learned about primary colours and experimented with colour mixing. Tomorrow, we will be cutting out abstract shapes from our colour mixed papers and using them to collage onto our textured backgrounds. We are very excited to see how they turn out!  

  

• Nursery are imaginative!

  Mon 20 Oct 2025

  Nursery have started learning about birthdays this week. We did a 'Let's Say' and pretended it was Mummy Bear's birthday. Everybody thought of different ideas about how we could celebrate. We then enjoyed writing invitations and then having a pretend party in the home corner.

  'Let's Say'

  Year 1 have been fabulous scientists this week, they have been examining animal poo (play dough) to determine whether the animals were Carnivores, Herbivores or Omnivores. 

  

• Year 2 are celebrating vision and values days…

  Thu 16 Oct 2025

  Today we are celebrating Vision and Values Day - we have discussed our school values and the British values on our values wheel. Our day has focussed on the British values of Tolerance and Mutual Respect - the children made many insightful comments about them importance of feeling part of a group and celebrating each others differences. The story of ‘Along Came Different’ supported our learning and we experienced what it would be like to be in certain groups that don’t accept each other. Luckily, this experiment did not last long and we were soon all back sitting together, with our friends, having fun! This afternoon, we have created our own ‘being different is the best thing ever’ collages, full of our favourite things!

  Wed 15 Oct 2025 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  This week Year 3 have started their Art topic focusing on ‘Drawing, painting and colour’. We have started experimenting with different grades of pencils - exploring cross hatching and blending. We then looked at work by Picasso and explored using charcoal to achieve different tones.
